Blood Death Knight Glossary, Abbreviations, and Common Terms - Battle for Azeroth 8.1

Welcome to the glossary of important terms for Blood Death Knight. The intent of this guide is to familiarize yourself with key terms when reading about classes in other media, like their discord servers! The guide covers a wide range of words, including popular abbreviations and memes! While here at Wowhead we use full spell names to make a good use of our Tooltip system, Discords, especially in pins and common chat, use many abbreviations that usually aren't explained.\r\rOur guides are always updated with the latest information from in-game experience, simulations, and logs; make sure to check our changelog to this page, by clicking on View Changelog at the top of the page. If you are interested in more in-depth Blood Death Knight information in Tides of Vengeance, Battle for Azeroth's first content patch, make sure to browse the Navigation Bar below, and our list of Related Guides just beneath the Table of Contents.\r\rWould you like to quickly find this guide using Discord?
